If you liked School Rumble add

...then you might like B-gata H-kei add

Both are set at school and have quite similar humor and character types. The protagonists have troubles with confessing their feelings and sometimes choose weird ways to achieve their aims. The female leads are both light-hearted and somewhat naive and have younger sisters who act more mature. You'll find even more in common if you watch both, however, neither series may be called a copycat. The atmosphere is also similar, despite the fact B-gata is more ecchi while School Rumpble is slightly more fantastic and weird.

If you liked Kiniro no Corda: Primo Passo add

...then you might like Yuri!!! on Ice add

Despite being completely different at a first glance, KnC and Yuri!!! still have a lot in common. In both the protagonist is a beginner connected to art (figure skating is partially art, too) and tries to reach the victory and meanwhile learn to express him/herself through art. As the plots in KnC and Yuri!!! proceed, the protagonist and spectators discover some dramas in other characters' lives, so both titles have a bunch of touching moments along with comedy. And both have highly spirited perfomances accompanied by beautiful music.

If you liked Azumanga Daiou The Animation add

...then you might like Plastic Neesan add

Both are comedies that follow a group of schoolgirls and their everyday life, portrayed in random and absurd-like manner. Plastic Neesan contains more ecchi and ecchi-based jokes though.

If you liked Kuruneko add

...then you might like Bananya add

If you like short hilarious series with minimalistic flash-like artstyle, Bananya and Kuruneko are brilliant choices! Both portray cute cats and relationship between them and are quite the same in mood.

If you liked Jigoku Shoujo add

...then you might like Kyoukai no Rinne add

Being quite different in mood (Rinne is more light-hearted with a hint of comedy, Jigoku Shoujo is darker and somewhat mysterious), both deal with supernatural, shinigami and the world of spirits/ghosts. The main character doesn't have a family and lives with grandparents, fulfilling contracts for the sake of the other world. Besides, both series start off as a bunch of seemingly unrelated episodes that gradually build into a grasping storyline.

If you liked Kimi ga Nozomu Eien add

...then you might like True Tears add

When watching Kimi ga Nozomu Eien I firstly recalled True Tears. Both tell true-to-life stories about some school friends and show that love may be extremely painful alongside with being pleasant. If to underline, they show how much love may hurt for the very first time. Some intrigues, skeletons and evil plot twists are included, too.

If you liked Kurohime: Shikkoku no Yakata add

...then you might like Grope: Yami no naka no Kotori-tachi add

The plots of the OVAs are quite different, but both are about a group of friends trapped in some kind of deadlock. Besides, in both situations the influence of the enclosed space is destructive, so the flow of the plot is somehow sad (nevertheless the endings do not match).

If you liked Cossette no Shouzou add

...then you might like Bakemonogatari add

While watching Cossette no Shouzou, I recalled Bakemonogatari because, in my opinion, they have major similarities. First, both have quite a significant role played by dialogues and are slow-paced and somewhat philosophical. Second, in both, dialogues are supported by visuals (effects and views). Next, both involve atmospheres of darkness, investigation, and mystery. Also, both have a romantic storyline with the hint of supernatural. Last, the overall impression I got while watching these two is that they are quite similar, so if you've liked one of them, try to check the other out.

If you liked Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo add

...then you might like Hotarubi no Mori e add

The two movies have different settings (Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo shows another realm, while Hotarubi no Mori e is set in our world with a hint of fantasy) but still sound the same due to the fact that they both mix slice of life and fantasy. Besides, while being light and somewhat romantic both have a sad note, as both deal with another world that is harmed by humans (lost land and the world of spirits accordingly). Besides, both philosophize about distant love and death and are touching and somewhat sad. What's more, both movies have grasping art and show striking landscapes and sceneries. Hotarubi no Mori e similar and Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo have another similarity: they feature a schoolgirl as the lead, which adds to the romantic touch.

If you liked Onna Kyoushi Yumi no Houkago add

...then you might like Panchira Teacher add

Another hentai about forcing a teacher in a miniskirt. Panchira Teacher psychologically is much more tense though.

If you liked 1001 Nights add

...then you might like Koushoku Ichidai Otoko add

Both movies have elements of art in them: The Sensualist uses traditional Japanese art while 1001 Nights uses drawings. Both are psychological and highly erotic and introduce abstract things in order to uncover additional meanings. Besides, one of the influential methods in both is the harmonic synthesis of art and sound. Still, 1001 Nights is fully abstract while in The Sensualist story and abstract pieces interchange. As for me, both are striking. So if you've enjoyed one of them you might probably like the other.

If you liked School Rumble add

...then you might like Joshikousei: Girl's High add

Both school comedies share the same spirit. They are totally hilarious and (despite having ecchi moments) aren't that cheesy or vulgar. I'd say they have the proper balance not to go downhill. Both also maintain to stay close to real life - I'm sure everyone (especially girls 'cause Joshi Kousei is about girls) will recognize themselves or their friends...

If you liked Kamisama Kazoku add

...then you might like Nurarihyon no Mago add

In both, the protagonist is a powerful heir of a supernatural (god/demon) family but tries to live as an average human, causing funny situations. Both also have a romantic storyline.

If you liked Angel's Feather add

...then you might like Marginal Prince: Gekkeiju no Ouji-tachi add

Despite the fact that Angel's Feather deals with supernatural while Marginal Prince doesn't, they both take place at an academy, explore boys' relations and have similar character types.

If you liked Tokyo Marble Chocolate add

...then you might like Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu add

Both are short OVAs (only 2 episodes long) that explore love feelings between a boy and a girl. Both are full of twists and hesitations and are done in a sweet romantic artstyle.

If you liked Toumei Ningen (OVA) add

...then you might like Please ♥♥♥♥ Me! add

Both OVAs have hentai and comedy combined and involve magic devices and seducing women who are actually not against it :)

If you liked Ookami to Koushinryou add

...then you might like Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate add

Though different at first, they still have a lot in common: they both have something to chew (fanservice and romance) and something to digest (economics in Wolf & Spice, politics and human psychology in KoiChoco). Learning through watching your favourite anime? Oh easy ^^

If you liked Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu add

...then you might like Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate add

Both TV series have basically the same idea - a group of outcasts (in BakaTest it is Class F, while in KoiChoko it is a "useless" club) trying to fight for their rights and make the situation better.

If you liked Gokusen add

...then you might like Nurarihyon no Mago add

In both comedies, the protagonist is an heir of a powerful clan, but tries to live a normal life and thus hides his true identity while having to solve the problems of the clan. Both also have a romantic plot line. Plus, both have supernatural (in Gokusen it is a human-like talking dog).

If you liked Project A-Ko add

...then you might like Daicon Opening Animations add

Both feature an ordinary-looking schoolgirl who nevertheless possesses some superpowers and fights evil. Besides, both are quite old works that have action with a hint of comedy.

If you liked Bakemonogatari add

...then you might like Dance in the Vampire Bund add

Bakemonogatari and Dance in the Vampire Bund have the following similarities: - both deal with supernatural (vampires); - both have a slow-paced romantic storyline full of intriguing twists; - both are created with the participation of Studio Shaft; - both share a similar artstyle and atmosphere, so if you've enjoyed the one, you'll probably like the other, too.

If you liked Ohoshi-sama no Rail add

...then you might like Hadashi no Gen add

Another anti-war movie featuring the life of children during WW2. And besides, both are based on true life stories.

If you liked Asience: Kami wa Onna no Inochi add

...then you might like Hana no Kage add

Hairy Tale is an advertisement, however it and Hana no Kage share the same mood. Both are romantic and somewhat sad stories of forbidden and disapproved love affairs of the past. In both the atmosphere is created by flowing hair and falling leaves and petals. And, more than that, both are very short but grasping beautiful.

If you liked Gokusen add

...then you might like Great Teacher Onizuka add

Besides everything previously said, in both TVs vice president of the school dislikes the protagonist and tries to harm him/her. And the flow of the storyline is pretty similar.

If you liked Tatsu no Ko Tarou add

...then you might like Jiu Se Lu add

Both "Taro the Dragon Boy" and "A Deer of Nine Colors": - are fine examples of folklore-based animation; - contain a teaching moment; - have nice artstyle and colors; - are quite old yet extremely enjoyable.

If you liked Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei add

They are not identical, however, the jokes and the artstyle are similar at times.

If you liked Enbo add

...then you might like Hitozuma♪Kasumi-san add

Both OVAs: - realistic (sex toys are the maximum); - include a small hint of domination and submission; - portray a teenager making love to his older female relative due to her being neglected by her husband; - introduce the same type of woman with big breasts; - are produced by the same studio (Milky). Besides, the endings are similar. Kasumi-san is more romantic and light-hearted, though, while Taboo Charming Mother is darker.

If you liked Iblard Jikan add

...then you might like 1001 Nights add

Both are made up with the help of paintings and thus are extremely artistic and symbolic. 1001 Nights is perhaps more surrealistic as it touches the world of unconscious... anyway, both are just stunning in the way the best masterpieces should be.

If you liked Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo add

...then you might like Hotarubi no Mori e add

Similar atmosphere. The artstyles are alike too, with bright colors and breathtaking sky frames. Both involve people separated in time and time tricks :)

...then you might like Kekkou Kamen add

Both are about a super-heroine who fights evil and injustice using her body and both are quite ecchi.
